Because I Am White: A poem about discrimination.

A lot of people have told me " you will never understand, because you are white." I have experienced racism and discrimination based on my ethnicity too. No one can tell me that I am different, privileged, nor ignorant. This is a poem in response to the horrible comments I've been getting recently- and I'm just fed up with this kind of attitude, that white people have it better. No- we are all struggling to be accepted. We are all in this together. I know that there are racist Caucasians out there, but I can only speak for myself. I am not here to hurt anyone and I love all. I just want people to open up their eyes and see that everyone experiences discrimination and it is NOT okay, no matter who it's coming from.
